The Ministry of Home Affairs Immediately Appoints Acting Governors of Three Papua New Guineans

The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) continues to finalize preparations for the inauguration of three New Autonomous Regions (DOB) in Papua. One of these commitments was implemented through the Central and Regional Coordination Meetings in the context of the Pre-inauguration of South Papua Province, Central Papua Province, and Papua Mountains Province at the Dynasty Resort Hotel Bali, Wednesday (26/10/2022).

Deputy Minister of Home Affairs (Wamendagri) John Wempi Wetipo in his speech said, from the presentation of the three working groups (Pokja) that have been deployed to each region, the three new autonomous regions have met the requirements for the inauguration of the Acting Governor.

"Actually, from our steps today, on the back of this there is the inscription 'pre' which means to strengthen, to make sure that we are sure that we will take a better step forward, will be further ahead," Wempi said in his statement, Thursday (27/10/ 2022).

He also mentioned that there were dynamics in the selection process for the Acting Officer. The governor is part of the spirit to develop Papua.

On the same occasion, he also appreciated the various parties who continue to support the success of governance in the three new autonomous regions.

"The spirit of the division carried out is how to have equality, there is for enthusiasm, there is motivation for us to make Papua better," he explained.

He also confirmed that the names that would be proposed to become Acting Officers. The governors in the three new autonomous regions are the result of collecting aspirations from various related parties. On the other hand, after the inauguration of Pj. Governor, Wempi hopes that the procession will also be followed by the inauguration of other officials. This is done so that the wheels of government in the 3 new autonomous regions of Papua are carried out properly.

"I hope that the Acting Governor, Regional Secretary, and also the other OPD Heads can synergize, build a strong team to be able to harmonize this (development)," concluded Wempi.
